.'PECIFICATON forming part of Letters Patent o. 353,024, dated 'November23, 1886.

Application filed April 14, 1884. Serial No. 127,858. (No model.)

l T all whom, it may concern:

. ro ject of my invention is to provide for the more' 'even distributionof the heat in the oven and to utilize all of the products of combustionfor heating said oven.

The invention consists in the constructio and arrangement of parts, aswill be hereinafter described, and particularlypointed out in theclaims.

In ordinary cooking-stoves'the bottom of the oven will often burn thebottom of the article being baked, while the upper, portion `thereofwill remain uncooked; or if the article is placed near the top of theoven the top will become burned before the lower'por-v -tion is cooked.AA gain, things near the door of the oven will not bake in so short atime as those near the back of the oven, or vice versa.

By my construction and arrangement the heat' within the oven is soequalized that the top and bottom ofthe article will be equally baked,-no matter in what part of the oven it isplaced.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section of myimproved device with -parts broken away. Fig. A2 is a horizontal sectionof the same, taken on thejlinexm of Fig.` l. The lletter A designatesthe oven, upon the inner side of the sidewalls of which are secured inany convenient manner the ribs or racks a, which support the shelves b,which may be of any desired number, and are removably supported on saidribs, so that more or less may be used, as occasion may require. B isthe stove or heater having the usual inner and outer walls, as shown.

C is the re-boX. c is the grate, D a door,

and d pot-holes to the stove, all of vwhich may be made of anywell-known form'.

Instead of allowing the products of combustion to pass off from thecombustion-chamber around and over the oven, as heretofore, I arrange avertical flue, E, preferably near the rear of the heater, as shown inFig. 2, and provide no outlet for the products of combustion, exceptthrough this iiue. The products of combustion from the fire-pot passupward over the sheet-iron top e, and, finding no other exit, passthrough an opening in said topinto the flue E and downwardvtherethrough, asindicated by the arrows. A horizotal pipe, F, connectsthebottom of the flue E with aradiator, G, arranged within the oven nearthe bottom.

At a distance from the bottom of the oven, preferably about half-way,the flue H connects with a drum, I, from the top of which extends apipe, z', communicating with the bottom of another drum, K, leading fromthetop of which is a pipe, k, leading out through the topof the oven,where it is connected with aI chimney or flue. The products ofcombustion pass through the pipe H into the drum I, from 'which the heatis radiated, so as to heat the central portion of the oven. The productsof combustion from the drum I pass through the piped to the drum K,where the heat is radiated and heats the upper portion of the oven. rIhesmoke,

&c., pass out through the pipe 7c into the chimney. Y e

To prevent the heat from the drum from radiating enough heat toy burnthearticles on the shelves, l provide each drum with ashield or jacket, L,supportedby any 'suitable means to hold the shield from the drum to forman airspace, M, as shown in the drawings. These drums aremade Withvertical ilues m at top and bottom, as/shown, so that thecold airentering the bottomofthe oven in passing through said fines will becomeheated,as will be readily understood. v

I attach importance to my construction and arrangement of the partsabove described, as the products of combustion are forced to passthrough the oven, thereby heating the same more quickly and uniformlythan where they pass around it, and thearticles being baked are bakedthe saine throughout, no matter in what part of the oven they areplaced. Awater-back, O, for heating water is arranged near the center ofthe heater B, and is` connected part of the oven.

R is a faucet for drawing the hot Water when heating apparatuscomprising a radiator,as G,

desired. located in the bottom of the oven, and having Having describedmyinvention,what I claim connect-ions with a pipe leading from thefireis-f pot, and with an escape-Hue and drums7 also 5 1.
